Mike organized Blues Americana into 2 sections. In the first section, Mike covers 17 key concepts and techniques that you’ll put to good work, and get plenty of mileage out of, in your own Blues Americana: Influences and Technique, Alternate Picking, Hybrid Picking, Finger & Thumb Style, Combining Techniques, Bending & Vibrato, Half-Step Bends, Slurring & Half Step Slides, Double Stops, Thumb & Fingerstyle Licks, Hybrid Rolling Licks, Phrasing & Melodic Approach, Tone and Feel, Building a Solo and THE Ultimate Rolling Lick (might be worth the price of admission alone!).
In the second section, Mike guides you through 8 performance studies where you’ll apply all of the key learnings from the first section over rhythm tracks for musical context. You’ll play your way through a variety of feels and tempos: Natural Born Lover, Change My Ways, Dirty Blonde, Slow Blues, Rhumba Feel, Classic Rock 'n' Roll, Don’t Break a Leg and Subtraction Blues.
Mike first performs the study over the rhythm track and then breaks it down for you in detail, demonstrating many additional concepts and techniques along the way. Everything is tabbed and notated and you’ll get all of the rhythm tracks to practice with on your own.
Now go have a hot dog or two and a slice of apple pie. You’re gonna need the nutrition because you won’t come out of the shed once you start digging into Blues Americana.
